I think that's pretty tactful tbh.

If anything it will improve his business. You cant sell someone something unless they know what it is you're offering.

Poor bloke - he has been disadvantaged all his life and now he has Headshot on his back! :rofl:

Heh, don't lose sight of the fact that this campaign was to slap kiddies wrists, not start a Queen's English campaign!
Gadge's and Guy's rushed and garbled posts had better improve else there will be warning button meltdown. :shock: :lol: :lol:

No, indeed. I've not PMd anyone else. It's just that I really can't read his posts......at all.

Have you ever tried reading Feersum Endjinn by Ian M Banks?

He wrote about a third of that from the perspective of a dyslexic and its a novel idea for about a chapter then bloody annoying after that as you simply cant read it at any reasonable speed (although right towards the end the repetition of some weird spellings make it scan a little faster).

It is so bad you even have to read chunks out aloud, a classic example being the use of the 1/2 symbol to represent 'have'.

Bit of a tangent there but I've just finished reading it and the 'novelty' narration wrecked it for me.

I just warned two users for this.

One of them, "phil", replied:

taken them off

speak to the boss...chorley

I basically responded "wtf" but in English.

Their bad posts on this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6524

But I didn't mention the thread to them, I just posted the stock warning.

He seems to have replaced offending posts with blank ones.

Does he mean Dave when he says 'Chorley?'

Who knows!

Yes, I guessed he meant Chomley, but I'm refusing to take him seriously until he starts posting properly.

To be honest his conduct on that thread was a bit poor anyway. He was getting rather mardy. I know Dave dealt with that but thought a grammar warning was also needed.
